Wedding in Kuala Lumpur, part 1

Here's the day! In Chinese tradition, they did a morning ceremony at the bride's place.
What they do is give challenges to the groom and his friends before the groom is allowed to see his bride. The challenges are like fun games.


Last night, I really couldn't decide which outfit I should wear for morning and evening events! Since Chinese likes red color, I decided to wear my pink beaded blouse with traditional sarong.

Ummm, I could say that I dressed very formal for the morning session! Most of the people wore more casual clothes.

I've got an invitation to Meyna's wedding on June 20, 2010. I didn't know what to wear because most of my formal dresses do not fit me anymore. Yeah, I gained weight :(

The pigments from Meow Cosmetics and Aromaleigh

This is an old 2-piece clothing, consist of gamis and pants. It's an Indian sari type of fabric I bought in Bandung in 2004 and made it at my tailor. It was still fit, hehe......

My niece's (kindergarten) farewell party

I was asked by my sister to give make up to her daughter for her dance performance at her kindergarten farewell ceremony.
My niece's name is Syahira, she will be five years old in August.

I once put her make up but at that time the look result was heavy on her. So for this occasion, I gave her lighter look but with pigmented color on eyes.
I chose carefully the make up for her so her baby skin won't be itchy. (I know I don't have special make up for kids, so I can only use my make up which made from natural ingredients)

For her face, I applied Everyday Mineral base: Medium Beige matte, and Finishing Dust.

On her cheeks was The Body Shop Solar Duo Blush (Radiant Bronze)



Lips:
The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Care SPF 15
Revlon ColorStay Lipcolor no. 232 (Sumptuous Sienna)

Eyes:
Aromaleigh Lip & Eye primer
Meow Friday the 13th eye collection: Spell
Meow Friday the 13th eye collection: Cursed
Black eye liner pencil
Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara in Black. Boy, she has long lashes!!


And that glitter was applied by her teacher when she arrived at the school. I didn't attend the ceremony because I had to do a chore.

Syahira and her brother, Fahreza

Syahira, when she was 7 months old.
How time pass by so fast!

And to our surprise, she received a trophy as the best student in her class. Yayyy...... We are so proud of you!
If only my father was still alive, he'd be proud too, knowing that the smart gene has been passed to the grandchildren. Lol.

Gypsy Look for office fancy dinner party

The theme of our dinner party at kick off meeting in Hua Hin, Thailand was fancy party (Nov 29, 2009). So everyone can wear fancy outfit or costumes. Maybe because we were not that too far from Halloween?

From Indonesia office, we decided to have our own theme, which was wearing batik. The ladies wore Batik skirt and with other style creation, while the gentlemen wore Batik pants with Kabayan theme.

As this was my first costume party, I really wanted to look differently.
I decided to go with Gypsy Look. Well..... Before the team made decision about the final theme, I was thinking to rent West Sumatera outfit, but there was no big size outfit for me and with the lengthy time of traveling, the cost of rent will be expensive!
I was thinking to borrow long curly wig from a friend of mine, but I didn't have time to pick it up at my friend's house.

Here's how I looked like that night:


I can still cover my head with headscarf.
White ruffle blouse, bought at JACC Tanah Abang, Rp 60K
Batik skirt, bought at JACC Tanah Abang, Rp 65K
Beads, vintage from my late mom's collection
Hoop earrings, bought at Poins Square Lebak Bulus, Rp 35K
Red roman slippers, Charles & Keith, Malaysia, RM 59.40
Blue soft lens



And......for the make up look, I finally had a chance to try Meow's Halloween Collection.

I made a research in internet for gypsy look make up and gypsy style, I even inspired to wear fake eyelashes....lol.

I found this tutorial on doing gypsy look and wearing falsies in Youtube.

Here's what I used:

FACE & CHEEKS
- Everyday Minerals base, Medium Beige, Matte. Wet application. This is the darkest base I have, I choose it because of the recommendation I read from Internet: darker tone and bronzing.
- The All Natural Face hydration mist in Patchouli for spraying the base foundation and for finishing
- Everyday Minerals face powder, Finishing Dust
No concealer needed, and with wet application of the base, it really helped to cover my blemishes.
- Earthen Glow Minerals, Bermuda Bronzer
- NYX Mosaic Powder Blush in MPB10


EYES
Aromaleigh lip & eye primer
Lumiere shimmer in cola, foiled (no.1)
Meow's Halloween, Dead of Night, foiled (no.2)

Meow's Friday the 13th, Supernatural (no.4)
Aromaleigh gel eye liner in Magnetism
NYX Doll mascara
Fake eye lashes
The Skin Food Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake

LIPS

From the final look, I can see that I need to have more practise for blending the eye colors. It wasn't that smooth.

FOTD: Eid Adha look, natural one

As I was traveling in Kuala Lumpur, I spent Eid Adha there.
For the special day, I choose natural look using Aromaleigh's Eye Plush and Les Papillon's collection.
Alas, I didn't remember which colors I used, hehe..... Sorry.

The face was with Everyday Minerals base and finishing powder.
I wore NYX mosaic powder blush in MPB10, and the lips wore Majolica Majorca Rouge Majex in PK 313 which I bought at Megamall.

Pink & Yellow FOTD using Les Papillons Collections and West Sumatera Wedding

OK, I have been waiting for this event to come, because it's time to dress up and to meet my big family members.
It's the wedding of my cousin's first daughter.
The dress I was wearing was not intended for the occassion, it was supposed to be another dress but my taylor couldn't finish it on time. The good news is, I got to use my Aromaleigh's Les Papillons collection... yay....!

Jakarta was very very hot yesterday, even we have switched on the AC, we were still sweating.

The blouse is a bit tight because I have gained weight

And on my sister, I choose colors that go with her outfit:
AL Les Papillons in golden chrysalis, inner lid
AL Les Papillons in Thalia's return, outer lid
AL eye plush in persian kitten as highlighter

I didn't take a note on other products she was wearing.... We were in a hurry.

Last but not least, look at the bride and groom's outfit. We are from West Sumatera. The bride is wearing different West Sumatera bride outfit, because her mother comes from Koto Gadang district. I should say the bride (a.k.a my niece) looked like a Pakistani or Indian bride :)

Her hands were dyed with some kind of hyenna. I could not get the picture of her hands.

West Sumatera culture is full of bright colors (read: RED and GOLD), and so was my niece make up.

Hmmm, it occurs to me to create the look with the influence of my home town.

Here's where they were seated. Cool huh?
